I heard about this â€œorganizationâ€? about five years ago when I was interning at Ms. magazine. Except back then they were called C.R.A.C.K. (Children Requiring a Caring Kommunity) and everyone knew what a bunch of racist assholes they were. I guess folks need a reminder.

Project Prevention (a much friendlier name) pays women drug addicts to get long-term birth control and surgical sterilization. Outside of how disgusting that is on its face--letâ€™s just sterilize women, not get them treatment--the groupâ€™s blatant racist and classist tactics make them beyond reprehensible.

"We donâ€™t allow dogs to breed. We spay them. We neuter them. We try to keep them from having unwanted puppies, and yet these women are literally having litters of children."

Now imagine an America where the government controls women's wombs. That is what the right wing wants -- state sovereignty over the uterus. They claim they want this power to prevent abortions. (Never mind that these same people oppose any and all non-coercive measures to actually prevent unwanted pregnancies, and thus the need for abortions.)

But what if the state has other ideas? What if a government official has ideas like Barbara Harris'? What if the state decides it's going to sterilize certain women "as a matter of state interest"?

Do you really want the government making all your reproductive decisions for you?
